Date format - momentjs - datetime excerpt using locale language
I am using library.js library I have a date in this format:
2014-08-07T10:00:00+02:00
I want to have two separate values:
- Thursday, August 7 2014
- 10 am
But I also want them to use the local language. For example, if time.lang ("fr"), the output should be
- Jeudi 7 Août 2014
- 10h
I have installed moment.js lang correctly. I was able to remove the hour, minutes and seconds (to extract the first value):
new Date(moment.utc(date).format('LL')) //Outputs Thu Aug 07 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Paris, Madrid)
But I don't know how to extract the hour and minutes (for the second value) and how to display the date using the current language .

@Rayjax's solution no longer works in recent versions of moment.js. Changed behavior moment.localeData().longDateFormat()
. LT
has now been replaced by the time format. Instead, dddd, MMMM D, YYYY LT
it returns now dddd, MMMM D, YYYY h:mm A
. Therefore, deleting LT
from a string no longer works. But we could just remove the one compiled LT
for the current locale:
moment.localeData().longDateFormat('LLLL')
.replace(
moment.localeData().longDateFormat('LT'), '')
.trim();
Cropping is necessary to avoid unnecessary spaces.

Hi i dont know if this is the best way to do it but it works
moment.locale("en");
var now = moment()
console.log(now.format(moment.localeData().longDateFormat('LLLL').replace('LT' , '')));
console.log(now.format(moment.localeData().longDateFormat('LT').replace('mm' , '').replace(':' , '').replace('.' , '')))

I came up with what works well:
moment.lang("fr"); //en, es or whatever
var date = moment(dateParam).format("LL"),
time = moment(dateParam).format("LT");
console.log(date, time) -- outputs separatedly date and time in the correct language form
What I was missing was in the language config files: http://momentjs.com/ I grabbed momentjs + locales instead of instant.js and it worked.
It is important to note that moment.js will not tell you that you missed the ones that were filed, it will be the default by default.

It worked for my needs:
moment().locale('en').format('L');
moment().locale('pt-br').format('L');
Just change the format to suit your needs. The moment documentation is great. http://momentjs.com/
